Community listening sessions and preliminary work by the CodeNEXT Citizens Advisory Group have set the stage for this current phase of CodeNEXT – revising Austin’s land development code with a user-friendly format and experimenting with form-based code in a few areas of Austin.

This is where the rubber meets the road! To realize a predictable code that achieves the goals of Imagine Austin, there will be areas of conflict to sort through. You are invited to participate in CodeTALKS and small-group discussions around topics the consultant team needs guidance on -- sign up for notifications.

WORKING GROUPS: AFFORDABILITY, SMALL BUSINESS AND MORE

CodeNEXT has launched working groups to take deeper dives into 3 critical areas for Austin’s future: (1) household affordability, (2) infill, compatibility, and “missing middle” housing, and (3) the small business experience.

COUNCIL SELECTS APPROACH

The Austin City Council in late 2014 selected a comprehensive approach for revising Austin’s land development code. The CodeNEXT team will check in with the new 10-1 City Council in 2015 for additional guidance.
